National-scale forecasting without a supercomputer
Most countries and organizations rely on forecasts produced somewhere else, at a resolution and update cycle set by someone else.
Met-in-a-box gives you your own: a frontier AI model trained on observations from your territory, running in your environment, with data and forecasts under your control.
We can also design and install the observation network that feeds it, delivering a complete national forecasting system.
- 100 ×
higher resolution than traditional NWP models
- Up to 50 %
more accurate than traditional NWP models
- 40,000 ×
faster than traditional NWP models
How it works
We connect all available observations, from weather stations and radar to upper-air soundings, and install new sensors where needed.
We train the AI model on decades of local data, teaching it how weather behaves over your mountains, coasts, and cities.
You decide where the trained model runs: on dedicated hardware, your existing infrastructure, or a cloud of your choice.
You get high-resolution forecasts in minutes, not hours, from a system under your full control.
Proven partner to global weather institutions and defense forces
Decades of partnership: Meteorological institutions and defense forces have trusted Vaisala instrumentation since the 1930s.
National-scale AI deployment: The Philippines achieved modern AI forecasting capability by co-operating with Atmo.ai.
Institutional adoption: Vaisala hardware and data support leading agencies worldwide, including NOAA and the UK Met Office.

Weather intelligence under your control
When a storm is closing in or a mission is underway, your forecast can't depend on someone else's system.
Sovereign model and data
Compact enough to deploy where you operate
New forecasts in minutes, not hours

Forecasting for your exact area
Your assets sit in specific valleys, coastlines, and corridors. Met-in-a-box learns how weather behaves there, so forecasts reflect the local conditions around your sites and networks.
Sensors placed where your forecast needs them
Forecast detail that follows your terrain
Runs on infrastructure you control

Frequently asked questions
A custom AI weather model for a country, region or operating area. It's trained on local observations and can be deployed on a compact system you control.
Traditional models solve the physics equations on a supercomputer, which takes hours. Met-in-a-box uses advanced frontier AI, trains on custom specifications, and provides the best possible solution available today. It delivers highly accurate forecasts in minutes — on far smaller hardware.
Leading forecast centers already rely on them. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has run its AI model in daily operations since February 2025, alongside its physics-based model. ECMWF reports gains of up to 20% on many measures, using about 1,000 times less energy. Met-in-a-box builds on physics-based weather science and over 90 years of Vaisala research and measurement technology. It combines that foundation with frontier AI and your observations.
You bring the observations you have. We'll help you place additional sensors where they add the most value.
You do. You decide who can access the system, where and how it’s deployed, and how its forecasts are used. Vaisala Xweather builds and supports the model, but your data and forecasts stay with you.
Yes. Alongside the model, we can design and install the observation network that feeds it. You decide how much we deliver and how much your team runs.
You choose the setup that fits your operations:
Dedicated hardware: a ready-to-run system accelerated by NVIDIA.
On-premises: on your existing computing infrastructure, inside your own facilities.
Cloud: in a cloud environment of your choice.
